The month of October will be Call- fornia’s month to shine at the fair, And what a sensation her daughters cause in the East! Say what you will, there is not in the West the attention given her women that is theirs in the Fast. The reason? Because they are different, perhaps. . e Quite an awakening in the smart set! On Monday Mr. and Mrs. Tim- othy Hopkins opened the week with a dinner at the St Francis, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Kohl the guests of honor. In appointments the dinner was the smartest affair of the early season. In the array of gowns and of jewels displayed it was said to be a visual feast. But why not? Are not the smart women of the West as smart as the women of the East, and as rich? Then why shouldn’t they robe them- selves in the fetchingest fashion and lay jewels on their breasts and brows? For they wear them well, so say all who have seen and know. Among the guests at the dinner were Mrs. Fred- erick Koh! Sr., Miss Kohl, Mrs. Chauncey Winslow, W. Mayo Newhal], Mr. and Mrs. George Almer Newhall, Allan St. John Bowie, Harry Bowie, Dr. Harry Tevis, Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. Scott, Mrs. Russell J. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. K.

A merry time these wanderers will have while away, having acquired the arts of traveling on other trips togeth- er—a primary factor for pleasure. Sweet as is harmony at home, infinitely sweeter is it abroad. In fact, dissen- sion among traveling companions ought to be a jailable offense for the pro- moter. s s e , Tuesday brought the first luncheon of the_ Ebell Club, which proved to be a charming affair, many guests going over from this side. The guests were ‘received by Mrs. E. H.' Benjamin, the presiding hostess, assisted by Mrs. Frederick A. Allardt, Mrs. J. C. 8. Akerly, Mrs. S. T. Alexander, Miss Mary Alexander, Mrs, Everett Ames, Mrs. Charles W. Armes, Mrs. Irvine Ayers, Miss M. Babson, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. T. L. Barker, Mrs. John Beck- with, Mrs. Gllbert Belcher, Mrs. Har- mon Bell, Mrs. Mary Bennett, Miss M. F. Benton and Mrs. M. J. Bluell. R o The. event of Wednesday was the Keenan-Musto wedding, celebrated in pretty fashion in the family home of the Mustos, Rev. Father Ramm per-- forming the service. * Seldom has lovelier bride pledged her love to handsomer groom. Dark-eyed and dark-haired, as becomes people of her race, the bride was a striking fig- ure in her nuptial robe of white satin and duchesse lace. Miss Florence Musto, who waited upon the bridfe, was likewise fair to look upon in her simple frock of crepe de chine. Thomas Keenan served the groom. Mr. and Mrs. Keenan have gone a-honeymooning, to be away about a month. & e Wednesday the green-brown hills of Sausalito say many merry men and maidens wending their way to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Campbell, for a dance was on. And a right merry dance it was, and the pleasure that reigned was a pleasant tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Alexander J. Campbell, who are visiting Mr. Campbell's parents. Seventy-five guests attended the affair, many going from this side, from Oak- land and from San Rafael. &k On Thursday Mrs. Willlam Harrison Mills entertained at a tea in honor of Mrs. Rochy of Portland. The Mills home is a famous abode for hospitality and well adapted for purposes of enter- tainment. « = s Yesterday the garden fete at the Kent home, Kentfield, in behalf of the San Anselmo Orphanage was the crowning affair of the day. Old Tamal- pais put on his purplest robe for the day and let the sun light up'his wind- blown locks, just to show his apprecia- tion of the little children's day. Among those who worked from dawn till dark to reap dollars and dimes for the little folk were Mrs. H. L. Van Winkle, Mrs. Frank F. Fredericks, Mrs. N. D. Ride- out, Mrs. John Keck, Mrs. Laughlin McLane, Mrs. F. Dalton, Mrs. F. G. Clown, Mrs. Homer L. King, Mrs. L. A. Kelley, Mrs. A. W. Foster, Mrs. John Beck, Mrs. C. A. Thayer, Mrs. Robert Dollar, Mrs. A. E. Kent, Mrs. J. Dollar, Mrs. T. P. Tisdale, Mrs. J. P. Ford, Miss Jeannette Deahl, Miss Georgle Spieker, Miss Jessie McNab, Miss Ma- " bel Gunn and Miss Edythe Johnson of Dayton, Ohio—and a stunning maid— besides a host of other pretty maids and matrons in white frocks. During the afternoon sounds of childish voices filled the air—they were simple songs of the little orphans, some wistful, some timid, some radiant, but all happy, ac- cording to their temperaments—for had they not come up to the grounds in hay ‘wagons and had all the ice cream and candy and popcorn their little tummies would hold? . e . Among the visitors in San Franeisce during this lovely month are A. 8. Fulton of Tacoma and his winsome sister, Miss Christine Fulton. Miss Fulton has been visiting Miss Florence Aiken at “The Gables." o e On Wednesday next the wedding bells will ring for Miss Alma Mitchell and Walter T. Ward. The ceremony will take place at Calvary Presbyterian Church. N The wedding of Edgar Peixotto and Miss Malvina Nathan will take place in New York on Thursday at the home of the bride’s aunt, Mrs. Frederick Nathan. X s AT AR A serious illness has visited Mrs. Clarence Martin Mann, causing her friends much alarm. She is, however, now thought to be convalescent and will soon be again her merry self. A L. 8 The A. E. Wellingtons have re- turned to San Francisco after a sum- mer in Ross. e The Arthur Pages are among the many who, loth to relinquish the joys of the country for the hum of the ecity, are still lingering in San Rafael. * s = Not long ago the Italian-Swiss col- ony of San Francisco was intent on the engagement and subsequent mar- riage of two of its well-known young people—Miss Sartori and Mr. Sbar- béro, who were married in San Rafael in the early summer. Now the colony Is astir over tae approaching nuptials of Miss Remilda Sbarboto to Guido Musto. The Charles Josselyns are preparing for an active social winter. What else, indeed, with two charming daughters! The young women, Miss particularly, attracted a vast amount of attentlon in Paris. Both the maids have a style that stamps them with individuality. v e e Mrs. A. W. Scott, the prominent clubwoman, won renewed laurels dur- ing the Knights Templar receptions, filling her duties on the reception committees with charming tact. Many of Mrs. Scott's gowns were exquisite affairs, a white Cluny lace robe win- ning much favor. WA S Another ball looms up on the social horizon, the “coming out” ball of pretty Miss Elsa Draper. Mrs. T. W. M. raper has taken a house on Paciflc avenue which will no doubt swing e its doors this w ter for affairs honer of the young daughter of the house. G The Sequoia Club opened its new headquarters at the St. PFrancis on Thursday night, but without flourish of trumpets. A suspicion had gone abroad, shared in by Sally Sharp and others, that an informal would be held on that date Information was firrelevant, incom- petent and immaterial and no cele- bration marked the acquisition of the club’s home, but on Friday, the 234, there will be a gathering of the club members to celebrate properly the auspicious event of housekeeping. The waiting list of the club is some- what lengthy, but a cautious board of @irectors can be depended upon not te enlarge the club list unwarrantably. A lot of clever and interesting men are in the club, likewise many clever and interesting and not unpretty women. Who knows what sociological prob- lems the club may solve? There's the men's club question, the women’s club question and net the least inter- esting, thre Platonic friendship ques- reception But the tion. And in these days of Ibsenfsm soclal investigations are eminently smart. e The coming of Maurice F. Loewen- stein from out of the Orient to claim his bride, Miss Anna Sutro, has been the occasion of much congratulation. —_——— LIVERPOOL SAYS AMERICA. . FAVORS RIVAL COIrYy Manchester Benefits at Egpense of Seaport by Change in Con- sular District. - LONDON, Sept. 17.—Liverpool com- plains bitterly that Uncle Sam has taken side with Manchester in a curi- ous struggle for shipping between thae two cities. Under a recent change in the American consular district the whele of the ship canal is given to Manchester, and Liverpool loses, fur- thermore, the important towns of Southport, Preston, Blackpool, Lan- caster and Barrow. This means that the amount of Liverpool shipping in the next year's statistics will show a considerable fall- ing off, though, of course, it doesn’t affect the actual commerce of that port. “Whenever and however this most ginister attempt to filch business away from Ligerpool has originated doesn’t particularly concern us,” says the Liverpool Post. “It is suffieient to know that an attempt has been made, and apparently for a short time has succeeded, but it is hardly conceivable that American interests. which are now threatened, will be content to ac- cept a regulation which obviously threatens their well being to an extent which may not appea¥ on the surface, but which is latent.” Liverpodl fondly hopes the shipping combine will become its ally against srowing and greedy Manchester. —_— Auto Gains Favor in England. LONDON, Sept. 17—Though auto- mobiles are comparatively rare in the streets of London, the increasing pop- ularity of automobilism in England is revealed in a striking manner by the Home Office. The return on April 1 last ‘of the number of motor cars and cycles registered in England and Wales was: Cars, 13,302; motor ey- cles, 14,771. The most remarkable feature of the return is the increase between January 1 and April 1 in the number registered, these three months showing motor cars, 5731; eycles, 10,- 148. The number of drivers’ licenses Is Increasing In a corresponding de- gree.
